The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both - Vaclav Havel

An Iranian in New York

Ahmadinejad's visit to New York is predictably causing a bit of a stir. Below are the musings of someone who calls himself "an independent with conservative values" (slight oxymoron going on there). He notes here:

It is going to be interesting to see how Ahmadinejad is greeted at Columbia. If the reaction of the students is anything like liberals in general he will receive a heroes welcome. Anyone seen as an enemy of America, whether its Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro or Ahmadinejad, will be treated as best friends by the left.

Keep in mind I am not referring to everyday working Democrats on the street. I am talking about the types you see spewing their vitriol at America at places like MoveOn.org, DailyKos of Democratic Underground.

I hope the media puts some of the Democrats on the spot with some hard-hitting questions about Ahmadinejad. He has American blood on his hands. ~RJH

Why wait?So, for our "independent Conservative" it's more important to get some political mileage out of another occasion for Democrat bashing than it is to actually grill Ahmadinejad? How very independent... Don't worry RJH, Shox Noise will have a field day with that one. I don't really think I need to watch it, I can picture Horn Shammity on the job denouncing the "traitors", as I'm typing this. Distasteful thought but there you go...

Ahmadinejad has also been refused to pay his respects at ground zero. It's Sacred Ground, apparently...

If you consider "Independent" and "conservative values" mutually exclusive then you are making a typical liberal mistake and missing the importance of independents, centrist and swing voters.

If George Bush wasn't such a catastrophe as a president the Democrats would live to seriously regret that sort of assumption. As it is I think we will be almost guarantee da Democrat administration in '09. Lord help us if it is Hillary.

Oh and thanks for the link. I didnt get any traffic from it but its still nice to be quoted.
